The Children's Aid Society apprehended three children from their grandmother, who had temporary care and custody, without a warrant based on hearsay allegations of drug use.
The society then brought a motion to vary the temporary care and custody order to place the children in society care.
The court found the warrantless apprehension was improper, lacking reasonable and probable grounds and relying on inadmissible hearsay.
The court dismissed the society's request to place the younger children in foster care, instead ordering them placed with their paternal uncle, while placing one older child with severe behavioral issues into society care.
